OK, so here's a brief description and a few pictures. I'll do a more thorough review in the "review" section later.
My overall impression of the AD 3000 is quite good. The fit and finish are both very good to excellent with no paint blemishes or gaps. The fitting of the mahogany body sections is a small issue, but I'll get into that in the full review. The acoustic tone is very Les Paul-like with the 3/4" maple top making the tone slightly brighter as it should. I compared the tone directly to my Agile 2800 DLX which has a mahogany body, a thin flame maple veneer, and a maple neck. The 2800 is definitely darker in tone (but not detrimentally so).
The maple top on this guitar is quite different than most I've seen. Rather than having the thin flame striping or the mottled quilt markings, this top is more of a tiger stripe flame with the flame striping wider. I like the look. Anyway, here's the pics:

Ah, nothing relieves the discomfort of GAS pains like the sound of the UPS truck rumbling down your street. It's like the musician's Beano.

I don't have an exact weight, but it's right around 8-lbs...which is better than I heard it would be. It definitely is lighter than my Agile 2800 DLX LP copy which is pushing 10-lbs.

Glad to hear that you're feeling better!That is one beautiful guitar. I'm like Robert, it reminds me a lot of a PRS clone. How does she play? Be sure to post some clips!
